Rocket machines stand out because every detail is perfected.
Each Rocket Appartamento is crafted with the meticulous care for design and performance that defines the brand.
The spacious water tank allows for fast and convenient refills, minimizing downtime. Since the Appartamento operates as a pour-over machine, it can be used anywhere, whether inside or outside.
Resetting the boiler's high limit is a simple task if the power goes out.
These wands remain cool to the touch, minimizing the chance of burns to the hands and arms. Designed for safety, they are also simpler to clean since milk doesn't stick to them.
The pressurestat regulates the boiler pressure within the machine to ensure safe operation at all times.
The Appartamento features a robust stainless steel exterior that is highly resistant to wear and can be easily polished to a gleaming finish. The Copper or White side panel inserts enhance its distinctive appearance, contributing to the machine's unique design.
As the water level decreases, the machine notifies you with a flashing light, letting you know it's time to refill without the need to inspect the reservoir.
This gauge indicates the pressure within the boiler, letting you know when the machine is prepared for brewing and steaming, eliminating the need for guesswork after powering it up in the morning.
The Appartamento steam wand's steam tip ensures even heat distribution and smoothly stirs the milk, helping you create perfect microfoam while texting.
The non-compression valves enhance the user experience by ensuring smooth and uninterrupted steaming, and they are more affordable to replace if needed.
This commercial-grade group features stable brew temperature and automated pre-infusion, guaranteeing the best flavor in each espresso.
The advanced boiler system enables users to brew espresso and froth milk simultaneously. Crafted from copper, the boiler offers natural antimicrobial properties, enhancing cleanliness.
The vibratory pump ensures consistent pressure during extraction, resulting in high-quality coffee. It's budget-friendly and easy to replace if it ever stops working.
The cup warmer ensures your coffee stays warm for longer while serving as both a storage solution and a preheating tool. It features a removable cup guard that prevents cups from slipping off and can be easily removed for cleaning or to provide extra space above.

As a semiautomatic espresso machine, the Rocket Appartamento provides users with greater hands-on control over the brewing process compared to automatic models.
To pull a shot on the Appartamento, you first lock the portafilter, loaded with tamped coffee grounds, into the group head and then raise the lever to start brewing. Once you judge that the espresso has been fully extracted, you return the lever to its starting "off" position to stop the flow.
In contrast, using an automatic machine involves inserting the portafilter and simply pressing a button, after which the machine measures and dispenses the appropriate amount of espresso without further input.
Many enthusiasts appreciate the tactile engagement and intuitive feel of semiautomatic machines. The Appartamento, in particular, with its lever mechanism, evokes a more nostalgic, classic espresso-making experience that resonates with many coffee aficionados.
It also gives you complete control over the length of each extraction, allowing you to fine-tune every shot to your preference. This personal touch not only customizes your espresso but also brings a satisfying sense of craftsmanship.
The E-61 group is designed to maintain a constant flow of water between the boiler and the group head, keeping the group head consistently heated and improving control over brewing temperature. This stable heat management is key to producing properly extracted espresso with optimal flavor.
Additionally, the E-61 features an automatic pre-infusion system. When you start pulling a shot by lifting the lever, the coffee grounds are gently soaked before the machine reaches full brewing pressure. This automatic pre-infusion helps prevent channeling and promotes a more uniform extraction from the coffee grounds, all without requiring any extra action on your part.
Take Note: Choosing the right machine depends on several factors. If you opt for a pour-over model, the Appartamento is a solid choice thanks to its sizable water tank, reducing the need for frequent refills and minimizing strain on you or your team.
The blind portafilter basket plays a crucial role in maintaining the machine. Simply place it into a portafilter with some cleaning solution, then insert it into the group head to begin the backflushing process.
Coffee residue can accumulate in difficult-to-reach areas of the group head. By using the cleaning brush to remove it, you can maintain the Appartamento in excellent, nearly new condition.
The comprehensive, full-color guide provides all the information you need for operating and maintaining your espresso machine.
The sleek metal tamper included with the Appartamento will have you tamping like a professional in no time. It ensures the right amount of pressure for a perfect extraction and complements the stunning design of the Appartamento beautifully.
Details like coffee scoops are often overlooked when buying coffee gear, but luckily, Rocket ensures nothing is overlooked.
This machine comes with both a single and a double commercial-grade portafilter, similar to those used by professionals. You can easily switch between the single and double shot portafilters to accommodate various drink sizes and personal preferences.
